It means the case was closed, or dismissed. Usually this happens due to the petitioner failing to appear, or the alotted time required for the petitoner to complete an action has been exceeded. The matter can be refiled, though.

Can child support be charged during the time the case is closed?

Maybe. In most instances child support obligations can be retroactive. Meaning that a support amount can be awarded while the case is pending. Generally that is only applicable if the case was previously filed and is now being heard for the sake of amendment, enforcement, etc. Closed does not always mean the child support obligations have been dismissed when it pertains to an investigation or action by a social service agency.
